Perhaps using MediaWiki's page import/export functionality will work for
you?

It's cleaner than storing the whole database in Git, and the XML
import/export files are mostly human-readable. They can only contain
pages, so this will take care of categories and the templates, but it
won't handle e.g. defining an administrator account. Also, note that
there's no easy way to "undo" an import (you'd have to delete or revert
the imported pages by hand).
